If the contemplated improvements at the Opera House materialize this season there is no question but that Franklin can attract a better class of entertaiu- ments and they will be well patronized. The fact that a fine company comes here and is uot able to put ou some of its best scenery destroys much of the pleasure of the audience, and companies do not like to play where they cannot do them- gelves justice. Another feature is to be taken into consideration, and that is the out of town custom which can be attract- ed here if properly catered;to. Otherwise our people will be drawn to Milford o Woonsocket, sud it is certain the elec- "trics will be arranged so that all could get back after the entertainment in either place. Therefore, it behooves the man- agement to do all inits power to keep the people here by good attractious, well hundreds of Americans, young and old, grounds.

After this ceremony was over Sousa formed his band into line of march and, followed by mounted French police, marched through the Place de l'Opera and the boulevards to the exposition

WALTER A. HAWKINS,

Interesting Find.

Tuesday, as some of the workmen were engaged in removing some of the debrin left from the burning of St. Mary's church, Rev. William Reardon of Ames- bury, who is a guest at St. Mary'a recto- ry, found some medals under one of the granite stones. The medals, four in the doctor and I in the midst of the vast throug, right in the middle of the streets. As a small boy I have "followed the band" many times through the streets of old Franklin, but uever In al, my life all, were found in the right hand corner, and must have been placed there wben the corner stone was laid. Some iron and wood which was discovered iu the same place led to the opinion ;that the medals were in a box, probably iron, linei with wood, and that it decared with age. The dates on the medals were did I eujoy this boyhood pleasure as 1 1938, so they were likely iu their resting did today hustling along through the streets of Paris, thousands of miles from place 67 years. The inscription on two of them could be plainly read. One of home, surrounded by gay young men and pretty American girls, the "stars aud stripes" all above, around and about us, and all cheering and keeping time to the tunes of the "Washington Post" "The Stars and Stripes Forever,"Liberty Bell," etc.

these stated that the medal was awarded to the "Robinson and Joues" family for their skill in making brushes, and on the opposite side appeared the picture of a pig. The other was awarded to the Ad- am's family of Boston for skill iu manu-

facturing trunks. On the opposite side of this was the picture of a donkey, over which was written the word "firmness" and on its side the letters "Lt'd." Whether this was the box originally placed by Dr. Dean under the corner stoue wben the church occupied the old Congregational site and again placed un- der the church in its Catholic location ie not known. Rev. Fr. Lee uow has them in his possession and prizes them highly as interesting relics.

But two grand concerts and a street parade were not enough of Souaa's hand and American music, for the 4th of July in Paris, so the day'a celebratinu wae brought to a close by another grand cou- cert given on the Place de l'Opera, di- rectly in front of the Grand Opera House, and bordering the Boulevard.
